It seems like only yesterday that I announced Muse as a "confirmed" headliner for the 2010 Coachella Valley Arts & Music Festival. What? It was only yesterday? Well then! Austin's annual SXSW Festival has just announced their initial 200 bands. The list is long and tedious, but a few standouts such as Good Shoes, Deer Tick, Robyn Hitchcock, Japandroids and even The Crystal Method lead the way. It's quite a daunting task to make much sense of all the bands, but just looking at it shows how dominate SXSW has become in our music culture. It is, year in and year out, a force to be reckoned with amongst the festival circuit -- often existing in a class all its own. Go ahead and see the list for yourself after the jump.
